    Default Paint help?


    Do your candy paint work better with a base under neat like blue than candy blue?

    I have a question on using second colors. Do you put the base color on then cure then put on the second color? Or dip one color reheat and dip the second color? i have tried both ways and dont like either one.

    Dip the base color warm it again then dip in the second color. Once you get used to it they go quick
